And they keep coming. I’m sure unidentified bodies in 60s UK were not referred to as John or Jane Doe 😣 I’m almost minded to write to the publisher. But that does seem a little over-pedantic…

Oh, and apparently they had paramedics too, rather than basic ambulance attendants 😖

Sometimes a book jolts you out of it with a blatant anachronism. Case in point: an arrest being made in 1968 with the full modern police caution, which wasn’t introduced until the 90s. Granted, the author is an American now living in the UK, but a UK editor should have picked up on it…

Yet again, Wordle fails to allow a perfectly good word... 😂

A word puzzle screen shows the rejected entry “DICKHEAD” beneath a grey “Not in word list” message. Below, seven hexagonal letter tiles form a honeycomb, with a yellow K at the centre surrounded by E, A, H, I, D and C, creating an unintentionally comic failed-word attempt.

Inspired by @jonhicks.com recent post about building his perfect digital music app, I was inspired to try Navidrome to host my music library, which I've recently re-ripped from CD to FLAC. Using a click-and-deploy PikaPods app, I was up and running in no time and was very impressed...

Today’s poem is called ‘Bags’.

Bags

you have bags
of bags

collecting bags
must be your bag

because you have bags
with nothing in them
except bags,
inside of which are other bags,
full of bags

you have enough bags for life
for a hundred lifetimes –
if there was a prize for the total number of tote bags
you would totes have it
in the bag

don’t know why you need so many bags
when all you ever put in them
are other bags

Now playing: Live and Let Die, original soundtrack, on 7.5ips reel-to-reel. An incredibly clean copy (and box) for a 50+ year old tape - and it sounds great! #NowPlaying #MusicSky #ReelToReel

The original motion picture soundtrack album for the James Bond film Live and Let Die. Colourful illustrated artwork features Roger Moore as Bond surrounded by tarot cards, women, explosions, vehicles and an alligator, with music credits for Paul McCartney, Wings and George Martin.

A close-up of a reel-to-reel tape recorder playing the Live and Let Die soundtrack. The black reel carries a vivid pink United Artists label listing tracks from both sides, while the tape runs through polished guides beside the playback head. Twin illuminated VU meters complete the vintage hi-fi scene.

In Bristol, supporting The Strsnglers. (The other support act was Wilko Johnson. Definitely got my money’s worth that night…)

This image features the album cover for "Nearly Man" by Mike Marlin. The artwork displays the artist's name in bold black lettering above the album title, "Nearly Man," written in a red cursive font. To the right of the text, there is a stylized black-and-white illustration of a bearded man wearing yellow sunglasses.

After losing Lawrie two weeks ago, today we said goodbye to our beautiful, brave boy Jethro, who is now chasing swallows on the other side. We knew it was coming, but losing them both so close together hits so hard. Broken doesn't even start to describe how we feel... 💔

A black-and-white dog - Jethro - trots across a sunlit grassy field, his tongue hanging out and tail raised high. The dog’s greying muzzle and alert expression suggest an older but energetic companion. Soft-focus greenery in the background gives the outdoor scene a calm, late-summer feel.

Can’t believe it’s a week since we lost little Lawrie… we think he was about 16, and gave us a number of scares, but always bounced back. But this time we couldn’t help him, and x-rays showed lungs riddled with cancer too. 😢 It still feels like it can’t have happened…

A small grey and brindled dog (Lawrence) stands outdoors on muddy ground, wearing a black harness. His tongue curls up over his nose in mid-lick, giving a playful expression. Trees and greenery blur softly in the background, while the dog’s greying face and alert eyes are captured in sharp focus.

This prompted me to question the definition of "poem": "a piece of writing that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language to evoke meanings beyond literal interpretations. It typically employs poetic devices and structures to create emotional and intellectual responses." Hmmm...
